[ASK] Android: Unable to stop service com.jwplayer.pub.api.background.MediaService@7f9f93d: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered: null

[Solly74]

What isn't clear?

RN version: 0.73.4 JW player version: 1.0.1 Platform: Android

Not sure if this is a bug or we've implemented it incorrectly but we're seeing a high number of crashes with the following error on Android: "Unable to stop service com.jwplayer.pub.api.background.MediaService@7f9f93d: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered: null"

I looked at the service code and can see the same activity that binds the service also unbinds it but is it possible that the context switches and is unable to unbind it? Do you have a suggestion on how to resolve this?

Hey @Solly74, could you provide a full stack trace? It'll help with understanding what is causing the crash

[Jmilham21]

@Solly74 Have you been able to reliably reproduce this? Since it's related to the audio service, I'm inclined to think it's because multiple instances were instantiated at the same time (this isn't something we support).

[Solly74]

@Jmilham21 Unfortunately cannot reproduce it, we're only seeing it in crashlytics but we're in communication with the JWP team. It's possibly related to the ads so we've implemented a fix by using the previous config for ads and publishing live soon.

[Jmilham21]

Glad to hear you have some level of solution @Solly74. I'm going to close this issue then, but feel free to reopen / create a new one if you have more information on the crash.

You can also reach out to the JWP support team directly with sensitive information, so we can test with your advertising config.
